History

Wham Bars were introduced in the early 1980s by McCowan's, a Scottish confectionery manufacturer based in Stenhousemuir.[1][2] At the peak of their popularity, sales of Wham Bars were 30 million per year.[3]

In 2009, Wham XTRM Sherbet Dips were added to the range. Each packet includes a blackcurrant lollipop and a sherbet dip.[4] In 2010, the 'Luscious Strawberry' flavour Glam Bar was introduced.

On 21 September 2011 it was announced that New McCowans Ltd, the makers of Wham Bars, were going into administration.[5]

On 14 October 2011 it was announced that the Wham Bar and Highland Toffee brands had been bought by Tangerine Confectionery.[6]
